The National Library of Pakistan (NLP) will provide electronic copies of all of its books and manuscripts of Persian-Tajik literature to the Tajik National Library and Academy of Sciences, the National Information Agency of Tajikistan reported September 30, citing the Tajik Foreign Ministry.

Tajik Ambassador to Pakistan Sherali Jononov and NLP Director Syed Ghyour Hussain agreed on the arrangement during a September 27 meeting in Islamabad, the ministry said. Jononov gave Hussain English-language copies of some Tajik books. Some Tajik scholars, poets and other cultural figures who emigrated to the South Asian subcontinent long ago remain revered for their legacy, Hussain said, stressing the role of Persian-Tajik poetry in Pakistani history.
